I'm sorry I didn't help. Hopefully you can still enjoy your system.

getting cpu alerts all the time Mac Pro 5,1 6 core 2012 3.33 Mojave protools 2020.5. Even on session with usage meter running around 4%. 32 gig ram ssd only half full.
I have been trying everything. using protools native ultimate uad . I have even started removing plugins out of the folder to see if one is acting up. Starting to wonder if its to do with older processor? new processors AVX just wonder if its time for new computer? I does stop when I run buffer at 1024 but If I try to record the monitor latency is just stupid.

But you have *not* been trying everything if you have just started removing plugins. And why worry about esoteric stuff before you try the basics?

*Always* suspect plugins. Don't fart around one at a time. Start by moving them all out of the plugin folder, trash prefs and restart Pro Tools... the default plugins get put back automagically. And does that now work sanely? If so start putting back third party plugins in big batches and see if you can find the problem one(s).

CPU meters are just not helpful (if it was always pegged when it was not supposed to be then that's more intersting). Plugin induced CPU errors at low CPU meter values happen all the time, just does not help. Disk % full is also irrelevant.

Nobody here knows what the cause of your problems is, if it's a plugin or not, but this plugin testing should be automatic for you to try, and if after doing that and other standard troubleshooting... then post here with a detailed list of what you have tried. And all what changed when this started. make sure that includes testing with a new clean empty session. And trashing prefs between the major things your try. And if nothing else works, then test from a newly created admin user account, repeating things already tested.

May I resurrect this post and ask if you ever found a solution? I just installed 2020.12 Ultimate HDX with HD i/o on a MP 5,1 running Mojave. CPU spikes the same, playback is impossible. RX 580, 64GB ram. When I change my audio interface to black magic deck link pci card it runs fine. I suspect it is something with HDX and the gfx card. After digging into Avids site I saw this, saying RX560 the only compatible metal capable gfx card. That’s seems too horrible to be true. I’m at a lost. High Sierra PT12 ran fine. Plan to uninstall everything and test 2019 I guess, but 2020 features are my preferred upgrade path. May need to drop some $ on a rx560 for due diligence.

Power draw with the RX580 (1-8pin) Alt HDX power?
560 (1-6pin) HDX gfx power (1-4pin)
Maybe Slot order as well.
